Re: Breastfeeding in Public
Hm...I have to say that I haven't seen many people breastfeeding in public...
there are actual laws that prohibit moms from doing so?
I agree with one mom's reasoning above - the babies are not on solid food yet, so what else can she feed them? It must get really awkward like on a plane or something.
I like how the ladies actually do it in our culture. I've seen the moms doing in front of family men at least - they just cover up their chest area with a huge dupatta, and no one sees anything, and the mom sits wherever she wants.
Its definitely nothing to be ashamed about. Although I can understand people feeling squeemish - mainly because here the "breast" serves such a sexual function in society - and media backs up that image.
